This repository is, essentially, the same as the upstream C libYAML library, hosted at pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML. The intention is to keep this library as close as possible to the upstream version, adding tweaks only where needed by TapeWorm. Most of these tweaks improve the portability of certain files, by integrating into the CMake based build system of Tapeworm.

Our version of the C YAML library is not intended as a stand-alone library (unlike the excellent foundations). If you want a stand-alone version go to the original source. This version exists principally to make it easier to re-use the work done on libYAML within Tapeworm.

LibYAML - A C library for parsing and emitting YAML.

To build and install the library, run: $ ./configure $ make # make install

If you checked the source code from the Subversion repository, run $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure $ make # make install

For more information, check the LibYAML homepage: ‘pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML’.

Post your questions and opinions to the YAML-Core mailing list: ‘lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/yaml-core’.

Submit bug reports and feature requests to the LibYAML bug tracker: ‘pyyaml.org/newticket?component=libyaml’.

LibYAML is written by Kirill Simonov <xi@resolvent.net>. It is released under the MIT license. See the file LICENSE for more details.

This project is developed for Python Software Foundation as a part of Google Summer of Code under the mentorship of Clark Evans.

Updates to this library should be pulled from the upstream libYAML Subversion repository. With ‘git-svn` you should be able to do

git-svn fetch

to get the latest version of the upstream code. You may need to do

git-svn init http://svn.pyyaml.org/libyaml/branches/stable

if Git has forgotten where the repository is.
